Brave scoliosis patient Noah Quish diagnosed with ninth serious health issue
Doctors have confirmed fears that young scoliosis patient Noah Quish has been diagnosed with a ninth serious health issue. Noah, 8, who also has autism, received in recent days a new diagnosis of Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). It is a chronic inflammatory condition of the esophagus that stops him eating and means he will need another operation. Brave young Noah has already been diagnosed with a heart condition, severe obstructive Laryngomalacia, scoliosis, malformation of the brain, severe sleep apnoea, a chromosome deletion, meningitis and autism. His devoted mum Una revealed that her "little miracle" is also due to have his 16th operation soon. She said: "Noah has been busy with appointments. A few weeks ago, he had biopsy tests and what they suspected came back positive. "It is EoE, which is a chronic lifelong condition where his oesophagus is inflamed and narrow, which causes him to choke. "We are lucky that Noah never wanted to eat anything thicker than yoghurt as he would have choked. "This explains the constant gagging, vomiting and problems with swallowing. "He came back on the severe side of it, which I knew he would, based on how he is on a daily basis. "He started treatment for this two weeks ago and will continue to do so for the foreseeable, until he is called back for another scope to check the inflammation. "If things haven't improved, then we see what's next." Una added: "Noah is still awaiting other important tests to check for other things which I suspect will shine a light on other issues he's having. "He has also grown a bit, which is great in one way, but not so good regarding his spine, as he has outgrown the rods in his back [that were lengthened in an operation four months ago]. "He is in a bit of pain lately and very uncomfortable. He will have surgery again in the coming weeks. "We postponed his therapy in Boston for a few months until we get to the bottom of his new diagnosis and see what needs to be done from here on. "We will plan again, once he is deemed healthy enough for intense therapy. "As always, he has a lot going on, but he battles on with great courage." Noah, from Co Limerick, was born in March 2017 and diagnosed with several issues. He needed open heart surgery at just four months old and is described by his family as their "little miracle". A fundraiser for donation has been set up on GoFundMe called Noah's Long Road to Recovery.
